A classic Christmas story back for a new season. New York Times bestselling author Jo Beverley returns to the Georgian period and the irresistible Malloren clan in this sumptuous historical novel of sizzling tension, powerful attraction, a false and forced engagement-and the lavish use of mistletoe and rather well-spiked eggnog.

When a stolen kiss leads to an unexpected--and unwanted--bethrothal to the lovely Genova Smith, Lord Ashart finds his mission to unlock the mysteries of his past thwarted by his growing passion for his bride-to-be.
